    European perpetrator programmes: a survey on day-to-day outcome measurement
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Ginés Canales, Oriol; Geldschläger, Heinrich; Nax, David; Ponce, Álvaro
    Evaluating the results of programmes for perpetrators of domestic violence is essential for both policy makers and practitioners, and a growing number of studies have addressed this issue. However, few studies have described the ongoing, day-to-day outcome measurements routinely undertaken by perpetrator programmes to monitor their results. As part of the <i>IMPACT Evaluation of European Perpetrator Programmes</i> project, in the present study 134 domestic violence perpetrator programmes from 22 European countries answered a survey on the designs, methods and instruments they use in their current day-to-day outcome monitoring practice and on the obstacles to and need for improvements in this practice. The main results include the findings that 20% of programmes do not measure outcomes at all, that there is a great diversity in methods and instruments used, and a low percentage of programmes make use of data from the victims/survivors and from follow-ups.

    Men, masculinities and physical violence in contemporary Europe
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Wojnicka, Katarzyna
    The aim of the paper is to present and analyse the intersection between men, masculinities and physical violence in the comparative, European dimension as this issue is still too rarely raised in the existing literature dealing with issues on both violence, and men and masculinities. The presented findings result to a large extent from research conducted by an international team of researchers within the PROGRESS <i>The Role of Men in Gender Equality</i> project (2011–2012). The paper presents analysis regarding connections between perpetration of violence and the character of traditional, hegemonic masculinity, data on the scale and types of violence perpetrated and experienced by men from different European countries, analysis of the position of men as a victims of (physical) violence, and a presentation of the forms of men’s (social) activism against (male) violence.
